This movie man… not often in my life have I walked out of a movie completely shaken to my core. I’ve seen hundreds, maybe thousands of movies in my life and unfortunately 2 of those movies are a part of The Meg franchise.

The gravest sin a movie can commit in my eyes is to be boring and following that, this movie is certainly going to hell.

The movie was completely baffling. All the criticism that the first movie had seemed to be amplified in the second installment. Almost like it was purposeful! Again the characters seem completely bored by the prospect of fighting THE HUGE PREHISTORIC SHARKS. There are exceptions of course, Jason Statham is perfect, he is England’s greatest treasure and should be protected as such.

I could write pages of criticism for this movie but I will just keep it to 3 main points which you can see below.

• They killed the female lead from the last movie off screen between movies?!
• This movie seems to be a critique of billionaires as again the villain is a rich greedy capitalist, the only problem is now we have a rich Chinese Jason Statham-esque billionaire on the good side
• They should’ve just made a full movie of the dinosaurs in the opening scene. Just give me Jason Statham fighting dinosaurs that’s what the people want

This movie is a 2/5, some good scenes save this movie from a 1 but this is one of the least interesting movies I’ve seen in years. My life is worse now that I’ve watched it.
